this film just came out in Los Angeles. seeing it was a complete waste of time. it bills itself as an Independent 'Australian' romantic-comedy, a claim that is full of hot air.
Independent? the plot is formulaic and full of holes, what you might expect from a producer of Kangaroo Jack...
Australian? the film's director turns out to be an American who exported the
'true story' of American urban legend Larry Walters (aka 'Larry Lawnchair'), and then changed the title to "Danny Deckchair," (which just sounds stupid), in order to make it more 'Australian.' then they cast a Welsh actor, Rhys Ifans, to play an Australian, because, well, i don't know why. i guess just to stay consistent with all the other bad choices.
as far as being a 'romantic comedy' there was not a single laugh from the audience, and the only romance was when we kissed our $9.00 good-bye.
deflate all expectations before wasting your time on this...
